Increasing the contact efficiency and improving the intrinsic activity are two effective strategies to obtain efficient catalysts for soot combustion. Herein, the electrospinning method is used to synthesize fiber-like Ce-Mn oxide with a strong synergistic effect. The slow combustion of PVP in precursors and highly soluble manganese acetate in spinning solution facilitates the formation of fibrous Ce-Mn oxides. The fluid simulation clearly indicates that the slender and uniform fibers provide more interwoven macropores to capture soot particles than the cubes and spheres do. Accordingly, electrospun Ce-Mn oxide exhibits better catalytic activity than reference catalysts, including Ce-Mn oxides by co-precipitation and sol-gel methods. The characterizations suggest that Mn3+ substitution into fluorite-type CeO2 enhances the reducibility through the acceleration of Mn-Ce electron transfer, improves the lattice oxygen mobility by weakening the Ce-O bonds, and induces oxygen vacancies for the activation of O2. The theoretical calculation reveals that the release of lattice oxygen becomes easy because of a low formation energy of oxygen vacancy, while the high reduction potential is beneficial for the activation of O2 on Ce3+-Ov (oxygen vacancies). Due to above Ce-Mn synergy, the CeMnOx-ES shows more active oxygen species and higher oxygen storage capacity than CeO2-ES and MnOx-ES. The theoretical calculation and experimental results suggest that the adsorbed O2 is more active than lattice oxygen and the catalytic oxidation mainly follows the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. This study indicates that electrospinning is a novel method to obtain efficient Ce-Mn oxide.
